BEG, BORROW AND STEAL
Ohio Express - 1967


You threw me out the night before last
And now you want me back in your arms again
You think I'm a fool, you treat me like dirt
You pull the string and hope I will be your friend
But I know what's on your mind
So I'd rather stay out in the street without a dime
And I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal
I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal
I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal
Than go back to you
Than go back to you
Than go back to you

How long did you think I'd hang around
Pretending not to see the tricks you pulled on me
There's only so much a man can take
Before his life turns into a tragedy
So I'm getting out now while I can
Cause I don't want to crawl
I want to walk out like a man
(repeat chorus)
